He really d'ed malone up in the finals a few years back. Bad Boys 4 Eva!!!Even though I don't know much about them as they won their championships when I was 6 months and 1 and a half years old respectively.Andrew wrote:and why would they vote for that psycho anyway???
Same reason they'd vote for Dennis Rodman back in the day. Controversy aside, excellent defender, and not just in the amount of rebounds.

That's stupid. If the opposing team has an all-star guard then he'd guard that person(Paul Pierce, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGardy). He would guard Eric Williams, Rick Fox, or Gordon Giricek
Artest is a good defender but he woulda lost votes coz he is siad to be a sf, and the wat the voting goes, Duncan and Garnett and Bowen woulda taken votes away
if ya get my drift
